"Dipping back into Murrell's archive of quality output we now offer you Black Ice's 1982 self-titled release for LA's Montage label, available for the first time ever on compact disc. This is not to be confused with the group's debut of the same name. Once again Antone Curtis, Cleveland Jones, Frank Willis, Gerald Bell and Marcieal Holmes entered the studio with Mr. Murrell producing. Many consider this the groups strongest showing to date. However, the year was 1982 and being that the times and the public's tastes were changing the resulting full-length ended up being the group's swan song. In retrospect, the recording has stood the test of time with original issues of the vinyl going for hundreds whether the price is in dollars, pounds or euros."
